RCHS Alumni Weekend is May 26th-28th

April 21, 2017

The Red Cloud High School Alumni Weekend will be held Friday, May 26th through Sunday, May 28th in Red Cloud. On the 26th, the Red Cloud Community Foundation Fund will host its Annual Banquet in the Red Cloud Opera House. On Saturday, May 27th, the 63rd Red Cloud High School Alumni Banquet will be held at the Community Center. Alumni are encouraged to visit the new National Willa Cather Center, check out the Webster County Historical Museum Open House, and participate in a putt-putt fundraiser for Youth Basketball.

I am continually amazed at the rich history of Red Cloud and all the wonderful things in that area. What a gem! I have been involved with economic development for nearly 20 years and to see the progress in Red Cloud warms my heart and solidifies my belief in the amazing things rural communities can do!

As a graduate student from Taiwan, the opportunity to attend the Willa Cather Spring Conference was a huge milestone for me in my academic life. Not only did I get a chance to visit and experience both Red Cloud and UNL in person, I was also thrilled to meet and learn from the generous community of Cather scholars. Wonderful events like these not only showcase and celebrate Cather's legacy, they instruct and inspire foreign students like myself.

I spent a week photographing Red Cloud as an artist in residence at the Willa Cather Foundation. Being able to discover this magic town in such a unique way was an unbelievable experience. I was able to literally follow in Willa Cather's footsteps as I photographed. This beautiful little town has cast quite a spell on me and as an artist I think it is an essential stop for other creative people.

There is so much excitement going on in our small town of Red Cloud right now! How fortunate we are to live among people whose interest is making our community grow. New businesses are flourishing and the things that are in the works are amazing! I am proud to call Red Cloud home! #redcloudproud
